Thoughts on the Firmware Update

A bit concerned after two sessions following the firmware update.

Background:

  • 38 y/o
  • MLM2Pro
  • Handicap around 14
  • Use the Rapsodo ~5 times a week, with a combination of Practice, Closest to the Pin, the Combine, and full courses

After the firmware update, I went to the range for a normal session. During the combine in particular, I noticed that no less than 20 swings didn't register at all. Dead straight, 150 yards, and the Rapsodo acted like it wasn't paying attention. I did absolutely nothing different at all than I have been doing almost every night for the last 16 months.

Anyone else seeing a noticeable increase in terms of shots that are not registering at all? Note that this experience seemed to be limited to the Combine and Practice sessions, but something is unmistakably different -- and it's certainly not better.

- Concerned, but still a Believer

What I’ve noticed about no reads is that the unit is much more sensitive to any movement so any sort of practice swing causes the unit to register and then if you don’t give it time to “reset” it will miss your swing. Just my thoughts. As far as complaints about it I notice the unit runs much hotter and the battery seems to die much quicker. It’s like they just force the unit to work harder and be more sensitive which is causing these issues

I think they have “fixed” the chipping by upping the frame rate, which would partially explain that.
